The image depicts a side profile of two individuals in bed. The person sitting upright wears a nightcap, has a long nose and a slightly prominent chin. The other individual wears a nightcap and their face is partially obscured by bedding. Both are covered by a blanket in a bed with draped fabric. The room is dimly lit by a window on the left, revealing a dark textured night sky. The scene is framed by drapery, creating an intimate bedtime setting.
